Dee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart

Groove Is In the Heart (1990) is one of the earliest and most famous songs by the dance music band Deee-Lite. It is included as the eighth track on their first album, World Clique.

An immediate smash in nightclubs, the song crossed over to pop radio and eventually hit number four on the Billboard Hot 100 (it had already gone to number one on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart).

In the UK, the record was equally as popular and was released as a double-A side with "What Is Love", eventually reaching number two during the summer of 1990.

The song was accompanied by a music video with a very psychedelic style, with the members of the band appearing as "cut-outs" over a cartoonish background of various abstract, warm-coloured shapes.

The beginning and end of the video include extra quotes by the band: Lady Miss Kier has an opening dialog consisting of "faux-French" (as described in their album liner notes, originally spoken in the song's B-side, "What Is Love?"), and the closing features Collins saying, "I just wanted you to know that groove is in the heart, and Deee-Lite have definitely been known to smoke... on stage, that is!" and Lady Miss Kier exclaiming "Deee-groovy!"
